The Walk In Centre/ Urgent Care Centre

The Walk In Centre has recently relocated to the Urgent Care Centre at York Hospital (located in the emergency department). There will be a single reception point where patients will be directed to the urgent care centre or the emergency department depending on their needs. The Urgent Care Centre provides fast and convenient NHS treatment. You can see an experienced nurse for advice, assessment and treatment for minor ailments and injuries such as cuts, bruises, minor infections, strains, sprains and skin complaints. It is open seven days a week, from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm and you do not need an appointment.

NHS 111 service

NHS 111 is a new service that's being introduced to make it easier for you to access local NHS healthcare services. You can call 111 when you need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency. NHS 111 is a fast and easy way to get the right help, whatever the time. Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

Local Pharmacies

Your local pharmacist will be able to give you free health advice at any time – you don't need an appointment. Many pharmacies operate extended hours on a rota basis. Call NHS 111 when you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
